What FACTLY found
This video is not from Riyadh. It shows a fire caused by a drone strike at the Sadovod market in Moscow, Russia, in June 2026. While there were reports of a Houthi attack on Riyadh airport in September 2026, the viral video is unrelated to that incident.
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
In short
This claim spread on social media around 22 September 2026. FACTLY (India) looked into it and published its finding on 24 September 2026, 2 days later. Its rating was “MISLEADING”.
